Assemble 12 noon on Saturday 26 May at the Whitechapel High Street Starbucks.
The picket will last at least an hour. Come & say hello, and maybe help hand out the odd leaflet. People willing to stand there looking like a prick with a sandwich board round their necks are particularly welcome.
This is part of South London Solidarity Federation's ongoing campaign in solidarity with Starbucks workers, sacked for union organising in the US, and also in support of the UK IWW's efforts at helping coffee shop workers to organise. Previous pickets have been held across South & East London, including Greenwich, Blackheath, Clapham, Bexleyheath & most recently Waterloo.
We have two kinds of leaflet -- the first for customers & passers-by, the second for "barristas." Obviously care is needed handing stuff out to the barristas, and having a chat with them is the main thing, if possible.
Hey, you know i love those groovy placards and i never look anything other than exceptional.
